Abstract
This study examines the challenges arising from the death of a litigant during initial proceedings and the subsequent filing of an appeal against the deceased. Its primary objective is to clarify the duties of the appellate court when faced with such an appeal. By analyzing sample verdicts from a provincial appellate court, the article explores legal solutions for two main scenarios: when the first-instance court was aware of the death and when it was not.
Various approaches are analyzed and critiqued, including nullifying the verdict, dismissing the appeal, proceeding with the deceased's successor, returning the case to correct the verdict, re-serving documents to grant a new appeal deadline, and issuing a deficiency notice.
The research findings indicate that, among the different perspectives, deeming the appeal incomplete and returning the case to the first-instance court to remedy the deficiency (in accordance with Articles 341 and 345 of the Civil Procedure Code) is the fairest approach. In contrast, approaches like dismissing the appeal lack legal foundation and lead to the deprivation of the right to appeal or impose the burden of a double appeal cost on the condemned party.
